Washington's decision came after Canada imposed counter-tariffs on approximately $20 billion worth of American goods. Ottawa took this step in response to U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff policy following the failure of trade talks last month.

Separately, Trump ordered Canadian goods to be excluded from major long-term U.S. government contracts. The General Services Administration is to consider products from Canada unacceptable for such procurements until Ottawa provides, in the White House's wording, "full and fair reciprocity" for American goods.
Against the backdrop of the trade confrontation, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney promised to accelerate efforts to reduce the country's economic dependence on the United States.
